Tuolumne River Stewardship

Together with Modesto Irrigation District, we’ve developed a comprehensive management plan for the River. The plan describes our proposed operations, improvements and resource protection measures under a new Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license for the Don Pedro Project.

Wildfire Mitigation

Wildfires in California seem to be growing in terms of strength, duration and devastation. TID continually monitors, revises and expands our wildfire safety efforts throughout our service territory and beyond. The safety of our employees, customers and community is our top priority.

Avian Stewardship

Our Service Area is home to a variety of raptors and other large birds which can be exposed to power line risks. To address these concerns, TID has an Avian Protection Plan which outlines steps we take to minimize those risks.
